Another view of Torquay taken from atop one of the hills overlooking town. The main trading street can be seen, which runs down to the harbourside. Across the bay you can just about make out Brixham, the main fishing port in the South West of England.

I really like this building as it differs so much from the usual style of a working mans club. I'm not sure what style of architecture this would be classed as, but the arched windows & doorway really feature strongly.

Following on from yesterdays photo, this is the rest of the beach. The buildings above have fantastic views over the bay, they used to be hotels but most have now been turned into apartments. To the left is Mojo's bar, which is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink or three in the summer sun.

Street entertainer on Torquay harbourside. The young girl just could not pluck up the courage to put some money in his hat, she was stood perfectly still for ten minutes. Maybe she has a future as a human statue herself.

View of Torre Abbey, a Grade I listed building situated on Torquay seafront. This former monastery is now a museum and is currently going through a major redevelopment. Supposedly haunted, it is also home to Agatha Christie's typewriter!

I took this photo last week, it was a fine morning and I noticed this girl struggling with her cycle. Now children & cycles are a rare sight down here due to the many steep hills. The hill here is very steep and many a car finds it a struggle. For anyone who knows the area I believe it is Hoxton Road.

First picture of Torquay, looking down towards the harbourside. The main shopping street (Fleet Walk) runs down between the two hills that are lined with colourful houses. Don't forget - feel free to leave a comment! Another photo tomorrow
